Systems and methods for verifying authentication requests using internet protocol addresses

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for verifying authentication requests using IP addresses may include (i) collecting, by a computing system, data on IP address changes from a set of endpoint devices, (ii) creating, by the computing system using the data on IP address changes, a virtual IP address distance map based on a likelihood of change from at least one origin IP address to at least one destination IP address, (iii) automatically detecting, by the computing system, a change in an IP address of a client device, (iv) determining, by the computing system and based on the virtual IP address distance map, that the change in the IP address of the client device indicates that an authentication request from the client device is suspicious, and (v) performing, by the computing system, a security action to secure the client device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
